Total Knee Replacement surgery is a procedure that involves replacing a worn-out knee with an artificial joint. This advanced and technical operation includes refashioning the ends of the femur and tibia bones, which form the knee joint. The artificial knee joint is then placed on the cut ends of these bones, with a high-performance polyethylene liner positioned between the two metal ends to ensure smooth movement and durability

1. . Advanced or severe osteoarthritis, which is the most common reason for the procedure. 

2. Rheumatoid arthritis, after medical or drug treatment has been tried and exhausted. 

3. Severe injuries to the knee leading to significant arthritis

4. Patients who have had their cartilage removed using old-fashioned open methods. 

​​

The diagnostic process for Total Knee Replacement surgery includes:

​

1. A comprehensive patient medical history and complete examination.

​

2. Specialised X-rays of the knee, including standing, bent, and flexed views. These detailed images can reveal arthritis that might not be detected by routine X-rays  performed by non-knee specialists. These views may potentially identify severe arthritis that had been previously overlooked.

The knee joint implant used by Mr. Mahaluxmivala and his clinic is renowned for having one of the best longevities in the world. The implantation techniques and surgical approach are meticulously designed to provide the best outcomes, supported by rigorous international evidence-based practices. This commitment ensures optimal patient results and long-term success of the knee replacement surgery.
